State Capital Notes.

NV CtP'tth 'o'tr
AUSTIN, Jan. 1O.-About half the
senators and ovcr half the representa-
tives of the twentieth legislature have
arrived and are all discussing the sem
atorial question; nothing else seems
to be thought of. Pendleton has n
walk over for Speaker of tie House.
aud there is nothing else exciting
ahead until n senator is elected.
There is no doubt the managers of
the different candidates here are great
ly perplexed over the unknown vote
which Reagan will poll. lie has
drawn from the Dallas congressional
district and the Mills district many
Ireland votes. and in the east many
that had been balloted for Maxey. In
central Texas he has also gobbled
some lew Terrell votes. In case Ire
land leads on the first ballot many of
the votes cast first for Reagan will go
on the second or third ballot for Ire
land, and some Ireland votes, if he
fal behind, will go to Reagan after
the first ballot. The Maxey Ren will
stand firm, and so will most of Ter
relrs supporters. On the first ballot
Hancock, the Old Alcade, Giddings
and Shepard will get a few votes. The
great contest is to get the lead on the
first ballot.
A possible dark horse says that the
fifty-scven Alliance members will be
divided as between the candidates
now in the field, but will unite solid
for a man not now in the race when a
few ballots show mont of the present
candidates have a majority. He
thinks this dark horse is not Giddings.
as be is not acceptable to the Alliance
men; that it is not Wellborn, because
Gibbs would be stronger with that
element, and with other elements in
the legislature, than Wcllborn is.
Probably he means the Old Alcalde
or himself.
1t is reported that Maxey will not
be here, and if q careful count shows
that he will fall behind on the first bal
lot, his name will not go before the
legislature.
AS yet none of the federal officials
have arrived to take part in the con-
test.
Pendleton, the candidate for speaker
of the house, is Il supporter of Ireland
for the senate, but don't want to make
the race as such. lie Is running on
his merits and qualifications for the
position. There was talk some days
ago of running a combination candi-
date against Pendleton, but, if seriously
contemplated, it is too late.
The absence Of several officials is no
less conspicuous than the absence of
the usual lobby of railroad officials.
The governor has not yet com.
plcted his message, which is reported
to be tersc and yet very .comprehen-
sive.
The inaugural of Gov. Ross is an
ticipatcd with great interest, as it is
understood he takes advanced ground
on the penitentiary, land and railroad
questions.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Jan. l0.-The

resolutions refer to the bill as n radi-
cal interference with the business
interests OF the 'ountry and asset a

THE Waco Examiner very rightly
favors legislative relief to the dfouth-
stricken section of West Texas. 1t
says:
Let the emergency clause in the
constitution, which permits the lcgis-
lature to appropriate relief money
when public calamity overtakes the
people, be operative now in the
prompt relief of the distressed drouth
sufferers.

UNnER the head of "Nolan county
drouth () sufferers" the Sweetwater
Record expresses surprise that Nolan
county should have been included in
the county judges report of counties
having people destitute and in need
of aid from outside. The Record is
bold enough to assert that there are
no destitute people in that county,
and asks "if there are why don't they
90 TO work? Why is it that a man
cannot be had for less than $1.5O per
day?v The Record says il may be all
right TO ask for aid for some of the
counties, but emphatically says il has
heard of but one case of dcstitution in
Nolan. and that man who was begging
assistance, though stout and healthy,
had Just before refused $3.50 for an
evenings work killing hogs.

Hon. OLIN WELLBoRNE's name con-
tinues to be mentioned as p candidate
for United States Senate in case of a
dead lock. The HERALD would not
like to see a dead lock, for it believes
Gov. Ireland is the choice of the peo-
pie for that high position. But should
such an emergency occur, DIN Well
borne would at the first jump develop
a great deal of strength. He would
probably be strongest dark horse
which could be put on the track.

The senatorial race is drawing to n
close. The friends of Ireland have
made his fight solely on the merits of
their man. The Austin Call gives ut
terance to q very popular opinion, and
n which oft finds expression among
the people, in the following:
John Ireland's bearing throughout
the senatorial canvass has been charac-
teristic of the man. Calm, digniiied,
faithful to every trust, and without a
single tinge of sclfishne's and dema-
goguery.

The Colorado Clipper, published in
the heart of the cattle country and for
n long time recognized as a sort of
cowmen's organ, utters n warning to
cattlemen, in referring to the meeting
of the Texas Live Stock Association
in Dallas tomorrow. The Clipper
says:
A large attendance is expected, and
il is to be hoped that it will not be
captured by the great syndicates and
forced to shape its action for the bene-
fit of foreign capitalists. Smaller
stockmen cannot afford to allow their
interests TO be ignored or overshad-
owed by would-bo monopolists.
THE Austin Statesman strikes the
correct key to the western drouth
puzzle in a suggestion that city
councils ana the Legislature appoint
committees to go out west
and report on the truthful
fulness of the reports of starvation
and need of charity. Reports from
the counties where the d%estitution is
reported to prevail have been so on
flicting that it is extremely difficult
for the public to make up IFS mind to
a condition of actual need. lnvestiga-
ton should be made quickly, and il
there is want and suffering in any
part of Texas, Texans will be prompt
to relieve it.

every conceivable form of advertisement,
this section, though in no sense inferior to
any in the State, has been most compla-
Gently left to itself.
But this can be easily accounted for. A
few years ago, when the earlier fruit-grow
ers ventured to try different kinds of fruit
by way of experiment, they were surprised
to find that all kinds seemed to do equally
well, and even when a few orange trees
were planted they found that the fruit
matured finely, but they did not realize
that they might engage in orange culture
on a large scale and for profit, because they
had heretofore thought the citrus fruits be-
longed to the southern portion of the State,
and not until two years ago, when the
RECORD UNION made its stirring call for g
citrus fair at Sacramento, did they. be gin to
realize what a soil and climate we were
blessed with. Let me add, they do not
fully realize it yet, but they viii before two
years more have gone by.
The thing most desired here now is
water. The development of the fruit in
terest in this county has been so rapid that
the water supply has not kept pace with it /;
but the citizens of this whole section of the
county are fully alive to the necessity of a
water supply that will meet the wants, not
only of those engaged in fruit growing
now, but all that may engage in it in the
future. The supply is abundant in the
mountains above US, and no great feat of
engineering skill is required to bring it in
when once it has been decided to under
take it. And il has been virtually decided
that water is to come in abundance, and
the means by which il is to be accom-
plished will not be withheld. This much
is settled With abundance of water the
possibilities of this county are practically
unlimited.
The fruit outlook for this year is very
fattering, and it is encouraging to notice
that all branches of the business are dis
posed to work in harmony and for COM
mon purpose. P.

Comparative Quality and Values of Real
Estate-The General Outlook
EDS. RECORD UNION Never in the his
tory of Penryn has there been so much in
terest in the development of the surround
ing country as at the present time, and the
outlook never was brighter. In every di-
rection land is being cleared. and trees and
vines planted, and newcomers begin to
realize that here is a soil and climate in
every respect equal to any part of the south
ern portion OF the State, and that the same
variety of fruits and of as fine quality can
be raised here on land purchased at $50 an
acre as on that in the vicinity of Los An
geles at from $3.50 to 81 600 an acre and
the question naturally arises, Why should
such enormous prices be paid for land there
when here is land as accessible to market
AS productive. as free from frosts, under
as delightful climate and at from one-tifth
to one-twentieth the cost.
The last Citrus Fair at Sacramento settled
the question as to whether this section can
produce as fine citrus fruits as any other
portion Of the State, and settled it in the
affirmative, and this fact is at last being
realized by people looking for homes in
this State. And yet those having land for
sale put no fictitious price upon it.
Let me make prediction Within one
year from to-day, the land you can pur-
chase for $50 an acre you cannot then OBJ
tain at 500. Two years ago l could have
bought land near this place for $40 an acre.
A year ago it sold for $40, and cannot be
had to-day at $50. And yet attention is
lust being attracted 10 this section, in spite
of the splendid displays at citrus fairs and
the well-known fact that fruit of all kinds
raised in this vicinity was recognized in
the States and Territories to which it was
sent last season as superior to any received
from any source in this State.
The fact is, that while other parts OF this
State have been heralded by Circulars and

AN ANNAPOLIS JUNKET.
CALIFORNIA LEGISLATIVE PIC
NICKERS PUT INTO THE SHADE.
What 1t Cost to Keep the Board Of
Visitors at the Naval Academy
Six Days in June.

The extreme prolifcness Of California
junketings during the past legislative ses-
sion, and the numerous expensive bills col
lected thereby, became matter of greatno-
teriety and public condemnation. and very
Justly so, but for a square, genuine junket
commend us the annual official visit to the
Annapolis Naval Academy. The bill for
last years red tape and gold-lace junket to
that place has Just come to light. There
are ten of these visitors-two Senators,
three representatives and five distinguished
citizens They go to Annapolis for the
closing exercises in June, and they are fed
at Government expense, besides receiving
mileage. Last year the visitors were at the
Academy from .the 9Th to the 18th of the
month The following is the itemized ac-
count of the expenses of the Board for
the seven days, as drawn out by Congress
man Burnes' resolution of inquiry, and by
which it will be seen that the cost for each
member of the Visiting Committee was
$14S 81 foB six days, or $24 70 per day:
